Abstract:
This paper considers an approach to the development of view navigations in a REST client page. When a page interfaces multiple service methods, it needs to maintain multiple views, along with local data. For this reason, it is necessary to develop navigational codes between views and service requests. The contributions of this paper are as follows: First, we discussed a formal approach for using REST service method patterns in order to design client page views and navigations. Second, we presented type conditions for possible method calls and view moves. In addition, we introduced a design model to help developers to describe the relations between views and resources on an abstract level. Finally, we presented a prototype implementation for navigational code generation using XForms pages, applying the proposed approach and standard patterns.
